I've been exploring the string types and I'm curious now, does the classic
Pascal "ShortString" even make sense anymore on modern computers? I'm running
tests and I can't seem to find a way in which AnsiString overall performs worse
than ShortString.
Are there any examples where AnsiString is worse? I think if you passed strings
around lots that would trigger the ref counting and InterlockedExchange (I saw
this in my own code before and it unnerved me) but that's been hard to test.
Regards,
Ryan Joseph
